I actually do that already! I pretty much always have my front lever covered. It's something I picked up from you a while back. It helps give extra feel to where the throttle is positioned and it helps me get on the brakes more quickly when I need to (don't worry - I'm not prone to snapping on the brakes - except for that one time with that squirrel).
So I can comfortably completely close the throttle while applying the front brake. What I cannot do (at this moment) is blip the throttle open as a shift
while braking.

Then go into a parking lot and practice it with the engine on, 2nd-1st is the hardest so try 3rd-2nd. Hopefully you'll be comfortable with it within a few hours  |
That's a good idea, thanks. I'll do that.
